About

I’m Jarid, a senior Shopify developer who’s spent 7+ years building and evolving high-performance theme and storefront experiences used by thousands of merchants and millions of visitors. I focus on clean, maintainable front-end architecture across Liquid and JavaScript while ensuring the details stay robust as catalogs grow.

I’ve led large Shopify Online Store 2.0 migrations with a shared core theme and multi-theme setups, shipped performance upgrades with Core Web Vitals goals, and fixed tricky Liquid/JavaScript edge cases across merchants. I also enjoy the engineering breadth behind the storefront, automation, tooling, API integrations, accessibility, and testing, so releases are fast, reliable, and easy for teams to manage.

The flagship theme I’ve been working on, Blockshop, has been a leading option for thousands of Beauty brands over the years.
